INTRODUCTION
Climate means a region with a certain condition of temperature, dryness, wind, light, etc.. It is rather an integration in time of physical states of atmospheric environment, characteristics of geographical location. Weather is the momentary state of atmospheric environment at a certain location . Climate can be called the integration of time of weather condition. Climate has 4 major elements:EARTH soil WATER humidity FIRE sun and temperature AIR wind
ARCHITECTURAL CLIMATOLOGY
Architecture is all about ART and TECHNOLOGY. It includes public services, water supply and drainage, air conditioning, ventilation, lighting, etc. it is the basic science a designer is concerned about. It involves majorly on:climatic elements how they are behaving on us how to be benefited by these climatic elements how to protect ourselves from the adverse effect of climatic elements The major steps in architectural climatology are:-
Site planning in landscape architecture and architecture refers to the organizational stage of the design process. It involves the organization of land use zoning, access, circulation, privacy, security, shelter, land drainage, and other factors. This is done by arranging the compositional elements of landform, planting, water, buildings and paving and building. Site planning generally begins by assessing a potential site for development through site analysis. Information about slope, soils, hydrology, vegetation, parcel ownership, orientation, etc. are assessed and mapped. By determining areas that are poor /better for development, the architect can assess optimal location and design a structure that works there. So the major concerns of planning are:Topography Air temperature Humidity Precipitation Air movement Vegetation and local factors
TOPOGRAPHY
topography is concerned with local detail in general, including not only relief but also vegetative and humanmade features, and even local history and culture.
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING In its contemporary definition, topographic mapping shows relief. In the United States, USGS topographic maps show relief using contour lines. These maps show not only the contours, but also any significant streams or other bodies of water, forest cover, built-up areas or
DAY LIGHTING
Day lighting is the practice of placing windows, or other transparent media, and reflective surfaces so that, during the day ,natural light provides effective internal illumination.
DAYLIGHYING SYSTEM
Windows are the most common way to admit daylight into a space. Their vertical orientation means that they selectively admit sunlight and diffuse daylight at different times of the day and year.
Three ways to improve the amount of light available from a window:: Place window close to a light colored wall. Slant the sides of window openings so the inner opening is larger than the outer opening. Use a large light colored window sill to project light
Skylights are often used for daylighting. They are horizontal windows placed at the roof of buildings. FIG.1
Light tubes also called solar tubes, placed into a roof and admitting light to a focused area of the interior. These somewhat resemble recessed light fixtures in the ceiling. FIG.2
VENTILATION
Ventilation is the movement of air within a building and between the building and the outdoors. Control of ventilation is most subtle yet important concerns in building design.
WINDSCAPING BUILDING
For storms/hurricanes/monsoons/typhoons : 1. provide or make arrangements for emergency storm shelters 2. avoid development in floodplain and storm surge areas 3. consider wind effects on walls and roofs 4. provide storm shutters for openings 5. use appropriate wind bracing and tie-downs 6. design facilities to be light enough and of readily available and renewable materials to be safely sacrificial to large storms, or of sufficient mass and detail to prevent loss of life and material
Vibration isolation : prevents transmission of vibration energy from a source to a receiver by introducing a
ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS
Acoustical wall and ceiling panels can be constructed of many different materials and finishes. The ideal acoustical panels are those without a face or finish material that interferes with the acoustical infill or substrate. Fabric covered panels are one way to
